Rear Drive D/C in patrol transfer. ?!?

Post by JemmyBubbles »

Hai,

After watching a few sweet videos on you tube of people using front digs to great affect, I am now wondering if anyone has modded their wagon or shorty to allow doing them (front digs). I'm more interested in how this kind of setup works in a full bodied rig :twisted: on the trails, rather than in a buggy. From what I have heard the transfer case cannot simply be modded to allow this.

As far as solitions go, aside from getting out and yanking of the rear shaft (hur hur hur :D ), I am aware of the yuri 4x4 disconnect http://www.yuri4x4.com/rear_drive.php as being a possible option. It looks absolutely gorgeous and I can appreciate why it costs so much, but it is a little out of my price range. By the look of the website carlton has/had one on his buggy..

I am aware that Trail Tuff http://www.izook.com/spy/trailtough/trailtough.htm make one for the zook/yota boys and girls, it seems a little more in my price range perhaps. Has anyone modded the trail tough unit to fit onto a gq transfer case ? How hard would it be to do it ?

As the handbrake is transfer case mounted this then leaves the problem of locking up the rear wheels. What would be the easiest solution here ? Line Lock the rear ? Custom Handbrake ? Cutting Brakes ?

It's a stupid pipe dream idea that just wont leave me alone :twisted: :bad-words:

Thoughts outers people ?

For those that are like "wtf even is a front diiggg!!?!" here is a little vid of an XJ with an atlas transfer case in it. He does a front dig towards the end of the vid... looks proooty cool imo.

I think it would be handy in the tight stuff and you would pick up with the ladies more.
